Lem Station is a project to reconstruct a tram depot to create an innovative and creative space. The facility is located at the intersection of Sakharov, Vitovskoho, and Heroiv Maidanu streets in the southwestern part of the historic center of Lviv.
One of the key characteristics of LEM Station is its architectural diversity and adaptability. The area consists of several main buildings, including tram repair sheds and administrative buildings. These buildings form a cozy courtyard that is planned to be open to the public. Great attention was paid to preserving authentic elements, such as the wooden structures of the hangars and authentic window frames, which were carefully restored.
The project also plans to create modern coworking spaces, restaurants and conference rooms, which will preserve the spirit of the historic building while adapting it to the needs of a modern city. Much attention is paid to the inclusiveness and accessibility of the facility for different segments of the population.
A special feature of the project is the arrangement of a comfortable and cozy public space that unites the territory of the depot with a public transport stop through common pedestrian connections and recreation areas. The area also serves as a venue for various events and festivals. For the convenience of visitors, a parking lot with an exit to Sakharova Street is arranged in the western part of the site, and a
a bicycle parking lot is provided.
The LEM Station project is a vivid example of how old industrial facilities can be revitalized, preserving their historical value and adapting them to modern needs. This place will become a new cultural and business center of Lviv, combining history, architecture and modern opportunities.
*The tram depot was built in 1894 by Lviv architect Alfred Kamenobrodsky. In the 20s of the twentieth century, it was rebuilt and expanded according to the design of Adolf Kamenobrodsky.
